Searching the Calendar
As your Calendar becomes filled with appointments past and future, it will become difficult if not impossible to find information by simply scrolling through the Calendar. You can use the Search feature to filter the Calendar to show just the information you want. For example, you can filter to show only appointments within a certain month assigned to a specific category.
For a basic search, enter your search term in the Search Calendar box at the top right of the Calendar display (Figure 30-17). You can also click the down arrow to select from previously used search terms. Outlook automatically searches as you enter the term and displays only matching appointments (or a message, if it finds no matching entries). Click the X that is adjacent to the Search box to cancel the search and return to displaying all Calendar items.
If you need more control over the search, click the double down arrow at the top-right corner of the Calendar display. Outlook displays addition criterion fields, as shown in Figure 30-18. Each field lets you enter a search term or select from a drop-down list. As you make entries, the Calendar display is automatically filtered to show only matching entries. You can also take the following actions:
To change a displayed criterion field—for example, from Categories to Sensitivity—click the arrow adjacent to the field name and select from the list that is displayed.
To remove a criterion field, click the arrow adjacent to the field name and select Remove.
To add a new criterion field, click Add Criteria and select from the list.
To cancel the search and display all Calendar entries, click the X to the right of the Search Calendar box.
To hide the additional criterion fields, click the double up arrow at the top-right corner of the Calendar display.
